  Intermittent low loss of engine power
Posted by: Mark72 - 27:th-Dec-2019, 21:23:25 - Forum: Mechanical - Replies (2)

Hi all hope you’ve all had a great Christmas.

I’m experiencing a strange fault/ feeling with my 1.7 Cdti Astra.
At times it feels like the engine is a bit flat and other times it’s normal, I have also noticed a very slight hesitation under normal acceleration. It sometimes feels like a non turbo engine. No apparent leaks on the pipework and no engine management light on. Has anyone had any experience of similar issues, I’m thinking either the turbo’s on its way out or the boost pressure sensor or mass airflow sensor playing up.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

By the way I did not find any water in fuel filter when I drained it.
Thank You

  CV joint?
Posted by: umognog - 23:rd-Dec-2019, 20:11:41 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (9)

Evening guys and dolls.

Going to get the J in the garage asap but with the time of year... It will be a couple of days.

So randomly, it starting knocking from the offside drive wheel tonight. When I say knock, this is like someone with a little hammer hitting at a regular interval, not a tick or a click.

It is into happening when it's in gear and under load accelerating.

I'm thinking drive shaft/CV combo?

  Water dripping
Posted by: AndyF79 - 18:th-Dec-2019, 15:56:44 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC Common Problems - Replies (6)

Hey guys

I’ve just popped the bonnet to replace the broken stuck reverse switch. With thanks to all those who assisted in advising its location.

Anyway as I was doing I noticed a lot of water dripping from the back of the engine bay and got concerned.

It’s not coloured it’s just water colour and has no smell to it.

Is it something to be worried about or nothing.

Picture attached to show the water dripping area

SVS help needed again!!!
Posted by: hooper - 17:th-Dec-2019, 22:38:49 - Forum: Astra-J/GTC - Replies (6)

Hello all

Bought a 2013 2.0 CDTi back in May. 42k
In July it came up with a SVS message and went into limp mode.
Garage came up with a P2428 error - Exhaust gas temperature sensor 1 - High temp. Low Voltage.
Had the sensor replaced and a forced regen done.
Car has been fine since...

Until Sunday night. 
Filled half the tank at Tesco (yes I know, not ideal fuel). 4 miles later SVS light came on and limp mode.
Error didn't clear and car has stayed in limp mode. No EML, no DPF warning, just SVS and limp mode.
Green Flag plugged in Autel AutoLink OBDII this evening and no error code.

Can I keep driving the car until I can get it into the garage?

Any comments greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  Corner light make
Posted by: sistem93 - 15:th-Dec-2019, 22:13:18 - Forum: Electrical - Replies (2)

Hello !


I have the 2015 Astra j NB 1.4 140 hp. I have no AFL headlights in my car. Halogen lighting. I want to make an application like the link I gave.
Using existing fog lamps I want to make steering-sensitive cornering lighting. For this purpose, the directional trigger cable for the headlamp cables I don't think so. I have it with the arduino kit to read the signal from the steering angle sensor and turn on the corresponding fog lamp I want to make a module that will allow. However, I do not know if the steering angle sensor is connected to the BCM or where it is connected. Many forums I searched but could not find. I need to know where the cable coming from the steering angle sensor goes, the position and the socket outlet find. BCM socket diagram if connected to BCM.

I am sorry for my English. I used a translation program.
Thank you in advance for your interest.
